The cheap one seems to be designed to cut the log within the saw horse

I was thinking of one where the log stuck out from the end to give a
clean cut,

"Within the horse" I can see the cut tending to close an bind onto the
bar/chain. "Out of the end" the cut will open but may split/rip before
the cut is completed unless you cut the underside first.

Not sure who the amazon or makita ones work. They clamp the log but what
supports it to stop it pivoting at the clamp point?

See what you mean - looking again it seems to rely on the weight of the log
to brace it against the top clamp so that must limit you on the final cut.
